I start school tomorrow.
And work study. My life is not my one for the next 4 months.

1. I hope it's a fruitful and enjoyable experience
Higher education is wasted on the young. :)

2. Indeed.
Mr Gray started today....acting class. He's the oldest in his class. I can't wait to see if anyone is older than me in Mac Design.

And I KNOW you will do well!

I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes as the semester progresses...

Good luck, but you don't need it! You make your own luck, out of your rich life experiences...

10. Just do it.
Start with one course if you have to. Do one online. Once you get started, the rest is easy.

I know that for you, tomorrow is the first day of school. It’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. And you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning, searching for a laptop with Windows BellaVista and MovieMaker to succeed in your dream!

So I know you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of you in this new school year.

Now I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked a lot about responsibility. I’ve talked about your teachers’ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.
I’ve talked about getting your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the Harry Potter or with that Alain Rickeman, this french actor you seem to love so much.

And that’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility you have for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself. I'm sure you have something you’re good at. I'm sure you have something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.

Maybe you could be a good graphic artist – maybe even good enough to make a photoshop of a duck roaming freely with no burden into the sunset over a nice little hill – but you might not know it until you do a sketch of a duck, which I will provide here:



Maybe you could be a movie director – maybe even good enough to come up with the next Sound Of Music or a new Plan From Outerspace or Debbie's Hitchhiking To Dallas – but you might not know it until you get a camcorder and do some stuff like this:



Maybe you could be a Supreme Court Justice, nahh, forget it!

Well, have fun and always listen to your teacher! ;)

17. make sure you pack your Judd Hirsch lunchbox with some nummy sandwiches
and wrap your can of pop in tin foil.

also, eat the banana before lunch, otherwise everything will taste like bananas.

18. I remember wrapping the frozen coke can in foil.
Then when it was opened the coke would fly all over.

That was in junior high.
